MONDAYS PROCEEDINGS.


The Havens' examination was renewed
with the public interest undated.
Since Saturday the case had even taken
precedence of the foot-race in town talk.
The fact that Sheriff Black had caused the
body>of Mrs. Havens to be raised on Fri
day was supposed to be preliminary to
some sensational evidence. It appears
that the tomb was thus disturbed in order
that some physicians might examine the
fatal wound. The defense received no
intimation of the proceeding which it as
serted is not warranted unless the Olsen
tombment is conducted with all the safe
guards which the common law prescribes.
Nothing appears to have been gained by
the determination as DIR. Fairfield had
made the first with care and had noted
accurately the condition of the remains.
DR.. Fairfield's testimony which sccupi-
ed the court nearly all the ~foreneen was q
great extent technical. He spoke clearly
and deliberately. showing q good memory
for details and the capacity to obserge all
the circumstances that may have a legal
bearing He testified that the cause of
death was the revolver wound in the head
and that the other wounds might have re-
suited from it. He believed that the
wound could have been sel f-inf1icted. His
testimony ELECTED nothing new and left
the case very much as it was.
Mr.. Brady made a strong argument
against the admission of DR.. Longe ways
testimony on the ground that the defense
should have been notified of the d;sinter-
ment OF Mrs. Ravens remains.
MIR. Taylor argued forcibly that the evil
dence was proper.
Judge Race decided to admit part of
DR.. LongeWay's testimony ans the hear.
ing proceeded and will continue all day.

THE OATH MATTER,

We understand that fifteen thou
sand copies of the oath proposed by the
Committee of the Loyal League will be
distributed among the Registrars of the
Territory. There is no question as to the
right or propriety of any organiza-
tion or individual to do this, nor is
there any doubt that the Registrars can
adopt either, or formulate one each for
himself, provided it is, in his opinion,
within the limitation of the law. If he
unlawfully deprives person of the right
to vote, he is liable to damages to the
person aggrieved. The oath formulated
by the Commission is only suggestive or
advisory, and no orders were issued to
the registration officers to adopt them.
They were doubtless issued with the
view to securing uniformity in the oaths
administered throughout the Territory.
In our opinion the two oaths submitted
by the Commission and the Committee
are not sufficiently different in the obliga-
tions, to make any material change in the
number of Mormon voters that will be
registered. In fact, we do not believe
that any oath could be devised, either
within or outside the law, which would
not be swallowed by the Mormons to re-
tain the political power in the Territory
in the hands of the priesthood. The re-
suit of the Brigham City election fully
justifies this belief.

SIGNIFICANT WORDS.

In his letter to the Secretary of the In
terror, upholding the rights of the settler
Miller, as against the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company, Mr.. Cleveland uses
the following language:
The legal points in this controversy
turned upon the validity and effect of the
withdrawal and reservation of this land and
the continuance thereof. The Attorney
General is of the opinion that such with
drawal and reservation were at all times
e1ectual, and that they operated to prevent
Miller from acquiring any interest or right
to the land claimed by him. With this in
depreciation OF the law and the former orders
and action of the Interior Department it
will seen that the effect has been the with
drawal and reservation since 1872 of thou-
sands, if not millions, of acres of theselan
from the operation of the land laws of the
United States, thus placing them beyond the
reach of our citizens desiring under such
laws to settle and make homes upon the
same, and that this has been done for the
dement, OF the railway company having no
fixed, certain or definite interests in suoh
lands. In this manner the beneficial policy
and intention of the Government in relation
to the public domain have for all these years,
to that extent, been thwarted. There
seems to be no evidence presented showing
how much, if any, of this vast tract
is necessary for the fulfllment of the grant
to the railroad company. Nor does there
appear to be any limitation of time within
which this fact should be made known and
the corporations be obliged to make its Sc
lections. After the lapse of fifteen years this
large body of the public domain is still held
IN reserve to the exclusion of settlers for the
convenience of corporation, the beneficiary
OF the Government and waiting its selection.
though it is entirely certain that much of
the reserve can never be honestly claimed

IT is said that the City Council intends
to take steps for the placing of additional
shade trees on the streets Of Salt Lake,
Several new varieties are to be introduced
and in this connection we would suggest
the placing of the Chestnut tree. For
starting of this growth the Council
would not be compelled to go outside of
the city, for it could utilize that journal
istic chestnut" known as the Church
organ proper. The tree thus obtained
would flourish as native to the soil, and
would furnish a shade dense enough for
even Church requirements.

elements of fairness, and is long stride
in advance ofthe methods hitherto adopt
ed as a means of preventing partlzan
feelings from lessening the loyal vote, 1t
lacks an essential element, so often re-
ferred to in The DEMOCRAT. 1t does not
afford the opportunityof gaining strength
from the enemy's ranks by free discus
sion of the National issues which
divide the two parties, which are
are willing to unite upon the local ques-
ton. The position of Judge Bennett is
conclusive evidence, however, that The
DEMOCRATS leaven is working, and that
it is only question of time-and proba-
bly, in the near future-when its policy
will be adopted.

by the corporation. Such condition of the
public lands should no longer continue, and
so far as it is the result of executive rules and
methods, it should be abandoned, and so far
as it is the consequence of improvident
laws, these should be repealed or amended.
These are significant and impressive
words. They convey to the Ameri-
can public, in terms not to be mistaken,
that the day of the landgrabber is over /;
that the time when corporation was
safely interchangeable term with corrup-
ton is past. Henceforth, the right of the
settler to the lands of the Nation is to be
paramount. The soil of United States
belongs to the people, and they, and they
alone, shall own it.

THE LEAVEN WORKING.

Judge Bennett does not exactly coin
eide with The DEMOCRAT in its policy
concerning the method to be adopted in
formulating the tickets in opposition
to the Church and State nomin-
ees. He, however, advocates the
calling of Liberal conventions, which
shall appoint committees composed
of equal numbers of Democrats and
Republicans, who shall nominate tickets
upon which each party shall be equally
represented, their report to be submitted
to the conventions for approval or rejec-
ton. While this proposition has all the

TINE HlGHWAYMAN,

Did you evst meet a robber, with pistol and a
knife
Whose prompt and cordial greeting was,
"Your money or your life;"
Who, while fou stood attending, with your
hands above your head,
Took your gold, most grimly Offering to repay
you in cold leady
Well, once met robber: I was going home
totea
The way was rather lonely, though not yet too
dark to see
That the sturdy rogue who stopped me there
was very fully armed
But Tn honest in maintaining that didn't
feel alarmed.
He was painting hard from running, 90 I, being
still undaunted,
Very boldly faced the rascal and demanded
what he wanted
Twas quite as big as he was, and I was not out
of breath,
So didn't fear his shooting me, or stabbing
me TO death.
In answer to my question the highwayman
raised an arm
And pointed it straight at me-though still
felt no alarm;
He did not ask for money, but what he said was
this:
"you can not pass, Papa unless you give your
boy a kiss

AN INGENIOUS SPIDER.
How 1t Hoisted n Captive butterfly to tho
Mouth of It's Den.


Spiders are not looked upon with
much favor by people in general,
though they are very bright, intel
lectual folk, with II decided aptitude
for geometry. They are the only ami
mails which are known to construct
nets for the capture of prey. The fol-
lowing example of their ingenuity is
from the notes of traveller in New
Guinea. II saw" he says, "a small
spider which had spun its web under
the edge of one of my boxes, and
taken butterfly at least ten times its
own size. No sooner did the latter find
itself caught, than it began to futter.
then watched the SPIDERS proceed
ings.
ut issued from its hiding-p place, and
threw itself upon its victim. but with
out injuring it. Looking attentivcly,
l saw that it attached a thread to the
end of one wing, with which it ran
away, and made it fast to tho
box. so that the butterfly could
not stir this wing. The spido,
then descended again. and re.
peated the performance at the other
wing 1t went backwards and for.
wards on similar errands eleven times,
on each occasion diminishing its poor
victims power to flutter. until at last
it..could neither move nor offer any re-.
sistance. l thought that now, prob.
ably, the time had come for the spider
to begin to sup. but its work was not
vet done.
Il saw it descend again, and un.
hook one wing from the side to which
it was fastened; the spider then
climbed up, endeavoring to raise its
prey, and having secured the wing. il
re-descended and cut another thread;
then mounting again, repeated the
performance. 1t assembled and de.
scended twenty-one times, loosenins
all the lower threads, and making
them fast higher up. until it had
hoisted its prey to the month Of Its
den. Having accomplished this, i.
shut itself up to enjoy the fruits of its
toll; but ii seemed to me such an in.
telligent spider, that l thought it
worthy of being preserved in spirits Of
wine. "-Youths Companion.
